The Winnipeg ICE are proud to share that forward Zach Benson and defenceman Carson Lambos have been named Honorary Ambassadors of Kidsport Manitoba.

"I am honoured to join forces with Kidsport to help support youth athletics and the multi-sports they are involved with. Being a Winnipegger I know how important this organization is in our community to assist youth with the opportunity to participate in organized sports" added Lambos. "I've made so many lifelong friends through sport. Of course, I have been very fortunate to get a career out of hockey too, but the friendships and bonds I've made have been so special to me."
